One of the things i decided to do a few months ago was to take steps to be a better creative writer, in the hopes of being published one day. So, recently I attended Ardashir Vakil’s beginner’s workshop organized by British Council and MPH. I didn’t really know what to expect in the workshop, but it turned out to be very informative. There were 15 of us, the group was a diversified bunch – from young college students to retirees, from those with no inkling of what creative writing was to published writers.

Last Sunday morning we were at FGT and after service we had to rush back to CBC for something. We were thinking of where we could grab a quick lunch, and the only one that came to mind was the KFC at the Petronas station in USJ21. I can’t remember the last time i stepped into a KFC.

My kid obviously had a good time, she hardly gets a chance to…

Did I tell you guys just before Christmas I got a doctor shrimp (or cleaner shrimp) for my saltwater tank? My wife always wanted one, but I was worried it wouldn’t survive in my new tank. But anyway finally got it from Oceanic and so far its doing well. Can’t really get a good close up of it, but here’s the best one i got.
